BS Biochemistry

... United States
... Western Washington University

Course Overview

This major is part of an interdisciplinary program between the biology and chemistry departments at Western. The BS degree in biochemistry (with greater emphasis on the physical chemical theory behind biological chemistry) is offered via the chemistry department, whereas a BS degree in cellular and molecular biology (with a different emphasis) is offered via the biology department. The requirements for the BS in biochemistry are listed below. For the cellular and molecular biology degree program, see the Biology Department section of this catalog.

The Biochemistry major provides many benefits to students through coursework and research opportunities, and is designed to meet diverse career goals. There is close student-faculty contact and relatively small classes. The students have direct access to modern laboratory equipment and instrumentation, and there are opportunities for research work under the direction of a faculty advisor.

This program is specifically designed for students who seek graduate study or employment in biochemistry or molecular biology.
